Redlands (Reading ward)

Redlands is an electoral ward of the Borough of Reading, in the English county of Berkshire. It is situated to the south-east of the town centre, and is bordered by Abbey, Park, Church and Katesgrove wards.

As with all wards it elects three councillors to Reading Borough Council. Elections since 2004 are held by thirds, with elections in three years out of four, except that an election of all three places was held to restart the cycle on 5th May 2022, with councillors coming up for election in subsequent years according to their ranking by votes in that election, lowest first.
